Hey guys, just checking in, activation went fine, i unfortunately lost over an inch + maybe 2" in length, and even lost some girth,
feel like im now a "pencil dick", so that is something im having to come to grips with, which i will in due time,
unless i end up going for an enlargement, to get me back to normal size, but i think most of that is just vanity.. that ,
i will try to overcome... another strange occurance is.. it only takes 2 or 3 pumps to be erect, none of this.. 10 -25 , or 40 pumps... so.. thats a positive thing i guess...

well.... Merry Christmas everyone... and.. ill be checking back in.. after the holidays..

Fantastic news that the activation went so well.

As for everything else, give it time, you will be amazed at what you will be able to achieve as your new toy settles in.

Dude,
Glad to hear all is well! :) Keep pumping to your max daily. Keep it up 45min at least, if you can. :shock: Keep stretching it. It will 'grow' more over time! ;) What's it like to be no longer 'Limpy'? 8-) Merry Christmas!

That's great news Limpy,

I'm sure that with time you'll regain some of your original size. I activate on January 9 and I'll post my results also. Might be we'll both be on the road to a healthy sex life at about the same time.

Good luck to you and I'll be eager to read about your progress.

Limpy,
i unfortunately lost over an inch + maybe 2" in length

Did your URO give you a flaccid stretch test prior to surgery? That measurement show be pretty close to what you get from max pumped now ... I really doubt you lost 2" ...

another strange occurance is.. it only takes 2 or 3 pumps to be erect

There is no way that 2 or 3 pumps are enough ... now it may be that the pump ball gets hard after a few pumps, but you should be able to get much more that 2 or 3 pumps ...

These guys that say it takes 25-40 pumps, don't mention these are not full pumps, but just partial ... this is because the cylinders need to stretch and over time it will get slightly easier to pump ...

Once I finally started pumping correctly, it takes me up to 15 pumps. At that point the pump is hard. I wait another minuted and try to put in a few more, but I can't get much more, just a little. My doc says it is not necessary to squeeze till the pump is flat.

well, how im determining that is... for example when i've masturbated in the past, and i hold my penis by the shaft, with my
hand setting at the base, i usually have about 2.5 inches of penis above my clinching fist... now, when i do the same thing, my hand complete engulfs my penis in other words.. its only the length of the width of my hand now... with nothing
over hanging.. so its an easy 2+ inches shorter now... and i used to be diameter wise, like a thick banana, now, im like a bic lighter... my Urologist and Rep.. said they used a "laser" , to size me.. im wondering, if it will damage my implant, if i take my old vaccuum pump, and see if i can expand my penis to its original size

Definitely do not use a ved with an implant. As mentioned by another poster, cycle your implant daily. Any pain or soreness in the glans area when pumped to the max?

Why not? From a purely hydraulic standpoint it seems to me that a MINOR amount of suction from a VED would make inflating an implant easier - maybe even able to inflate the implant without pumping your scrotum (once the valve is set to the proper position).

Note the emphasis on MINOR.

Vacuum pumping too much might possibly produce unintended consequences, like separation of your tissues from the implant or sucking the pump and valve from your scrotum up against the base of the implant or other such unpleasantries.

The fact is, that I don't really know for sure, but it seems to me that there might be two advantages. 1) Easier pumping up of the implant and 2) Engorgement of the glans, which does not primarily benefit from the implant, but can contribute to your and your partner's enjoyment.

The possible dangers are too numerous to contemplate without a lot more knowledge of anatomy than I have.

But I wonder....
